Who Wins

Pre-6, Kalista + Zyra win the 2v2 — Kalista's early auto-reset trading is faster than your setup time, and Zyra's E root into W plants combo deals more burst than Lillia can match at levels 1-3.
Post-6, you gain meaningful power with R as a long-range execute threat, but Kalista's R on Zyra still lets them disengage or re-engage on their terms, so the 2v2 remains contested rather than clearly in your favor.

You need Lillia to land W sleep before you commit to a full trade — only then can you safely switch to Minigun (Q) and stack autos without Zyra's plants or Kalista's rend shredding you.
Avoid extended trades without that setup; poke with Zap (E) from max range to chip them down before Lillia can engage.

Push the wave hard with Q Fishbones to force Zyra to choose between taking poke or losing CS under tower — Zyra's waveclear is decent but she takes damage doing it.
Avoid freezing; a slow push toward their tower limits Kalista's ability to freely stack rend on the wave and forces Zyra into dangerous positions.

Do not walk up to trade without vision of Zyra's E placement — stepping into a root while Kalista has rend stacks on you is a near-guaranteed kill.
Respect the kill pressure this lane has on you at all stages and never let Zyra land a free E while you are in Minigun stance with no escape.
